  • Genre Preferences / Specialties:

    I enjoy a wide variety of music styles, so I can be perfectly happy listening to jazz instrumentals or classical followed by electronic dance music of some kind or rock and roll from just about every era. I have experience mixing electronic music by itself, rap and hip-hop blended with a variety of pop, and everywhere in between.

  • My Relationship with Music:

    I have been working as a professional musician for my entire adult life, both as a member of bands, and as a solo musician; I live and breathe music. When I am not listening to my favorite artists, I am usually either making, or thinking about music.

  • Favorite Part About Being a DJ:

    I love being able to bring my own appreciation of music to others and get them to move! There is nothing better than playing music for a group of people just trying to have a good time. It’s always fun to surprise people with an unexpected old hit, or a unique mashup of styles that really catches people off guard in the best way. Reminding someone of a song they almost forgot they loved to dance to, is a special thing to witness every single time.
